CHICAGO – HollywoodChicago.com on Tuesday had a trusted source post on our message boards a description of the upcoming teaser trailer for J.J. Abrams’ “Star Trek”.
Following this post, various other movie sites (see a list of independent validations here) have confirmed the accuracy of this information with multiple sources along with a source at Paramount Pictures. Here’s our exclusive teaser trailer description. Warning: This is full spoiler information about the teaser trailer.
Here’s the “Star Trek” trailer description. Hope you can use it.
Slow Paramount logo.
Bad Robot logo.
Black, suddenly some sparks (very saturated [with] Michael Bay-looking cinematography).
We hear an old NASA radio countdown: “30 seconds and counting.”
Close up of a timeless guy with goggles leaning down doing some wielding and sparks flying around.
He lifts his googles. Slightly futuristic head covering. It’s not a space suit, by the way.
The dude leans down and wields some more. He’s standing on big metal.
“From director J.J. Abrams” (blue font with a nice lens flare).
Some Kennedy speech about space flight: “The eyes of the world now look to space.”
People walking around the saucer section. The wielders are everywhere – showing size.
We hear: “The eagle has landed.”
Huge overhead shot pans across [and] suddenly [shows] what looks like miles of scaffolding underneath.
Title: “The future begins”.
Really impressive shot from … people all over the ship and you can see a huge industrialized city or shipyard in the background. It’s being built on Earth [rather than] in space.
Neil Armstrong: “One small step for man…”
Camera slowly cranes up over the whole saucer section.
Then we hear Leonard Nimoy’s line: “Space. The final frontier…” and the familiar “Star Trek” theme horns.
The shot continues [and reveals] the writing on the top of the saucer – “U.S.S. Enterprise” – and these huge aircraft-like warp engines in the background. Technically, the first reveal of what we’re seeing.
Just the Starfleet log (no title).
Title card: “Under construction”.
“Christmas 2008”
Overall, really great teaser (by the definition of the term). Very industrial. I’m most intrigued by the background Earth stuff.
The teaser should be attached to the Abrams-produced “Cloverfield,” which opens this Friday.
1:20 p.m. update on Jan. 17, 2008: The first photo of the U.S.S Enterprise from the new “Star Trek” turned up at Moviefone on Thursday. The photo can be seen below and a larger version can be found here. It appears to be taken from the teaser and be the reveal shot we first mentioned above. Here’s a link to Paramount’s official “Star Trek” Web site.

Let's all take a deep breath here...
I don’t usually post comments on these boards, but I feel the need to comment on this. I’m a Trek fan because of the spirit and vision that Roddenberry and others put into it. Would I like it if Abrams stuck to Canon? Of course. But as a fan, I would like it more if he were able to re-invigorate the franchise. I would accept Gary Mitchell as a casualty if Star Trek becomes watchable again. I think it’s important to remember that the core of the show was created in the 1960’s. Four decades later, things need to be tinkered with. It’s the essence of filmmaking.
Other, more recent franchise reboots (such as Batman Begins and the upcoming Dark Knight, as well as Casino Royale) made some significant changes to canon, and they succeeded in what they set out to do. Their success invigorated franchises that were dying slow and painful deaths.
Why don’t we all take a deep breath and look at this in perspective. This was a thirty-second teaser which tells us NOTHING important. I think the ship looks great, and personally, I don’t care whether it was built on Earth or in space. It pains me to say this, but Star Trek can’t sink any lower than it was when Enterprise was cancelled. I think we should reserve judgment on Abrams until we see everything, and stop nitpicking on irrelevant facts. I’m really hoping for the best on this one.
'Star Trek' teaser didn't show before tonight's 'Cloverfield'
The much-anticipated “Star Trek” teaser trailer didn’t show before Wednesday night’s “Cloverfield” advance movie screening in Chicago. In fact, there were no previews at all. The film just came straight on.
There was another press screening for “Cloverfield” in Chicago on Tuesday, but I don’t know if the “Star Trek” teaser showed there or not.
After we scooped the teaser trailer description for “Star Trek,” I was really looking forward to seeing it, too.
Why no William Shatner as Kirk?
Does anyone know why they got Leonard Nimoy as Spock but they didn’t get William Shatner as Kirk? Was Shatner too busy doing Priceline ads or something? I’m just not feeling Chris Pine as Kirk.
Shatner
‘Cuz Kirk died in Generations, 14 years ago…that’s why….
That's just an excuse.
They could bring him back as an android or something. :-)
Try This, Then.....
…..an overacting android….to serve what purpose? With Kirk’s reputation as an intergalactic womanizer who doesn’t use condoms, it would be interesting to see what the effect of viagra would have on said android…cybernetic priapism? Hmmmm…..no thanks, let Bill have his Emmy and Denny all to himself…..and they should have kept Spock dead too, BTW….again, Ron Moore’s got the right idea…kill ‘em all, and leave ‘em dead!
